Car design, this can indeed vary.  I suggest 16-stud "flat" types or
doublestack types of as simple of a design as one can make -- thus, they'll
look more uniform.

OK I decided to go ahead and make a NELUG container...

I think thats what your looking for.  I used an Avery clear shipping label for
the decal and it looks OK.  I still have to build a car and I also want to try
this in Gray to see what it looks like.

Let me know if this looks satisfactory or not.  I don't have much in the way of
train stuff so for the top I had to use tiles and plates instead of the special
4x8 tile/plate hybrid part.  It is also solid all the way around.  No doors.
